Tabula is a Roman game dating back several centuries BCE. The game later spread to Europe and became popular in England where it was known as Tables. The word "tables" also became the generic term for any game played on a backgammon board, similar to the way "cards" is used today.
Our knowledge of the rules of Tabula comes primarily from records kept by Emperor Zeno in 480 CE.
Setup: The equipment for Tabula is the same as in backgammon except that each player has three dice instead of two.
All checkers start off the board. Both players enter their fifteen checkers into the same starting table and move them around the board in the same direction.
Object: The object of the game is to move all of your checkers to the finishing table and then bear them off. The first player to bear off all his checkers wins the game.
To start: Each player rolls one die. The player who rolls the higher number goes first. That player then rolls all three of his dice to begin his first turn.
Entering checkers: You enter a checker onto the board by placing it on a point in the starting table corresponding to a number rolled. For example, if you roll 6-3-1, then you may enter three checkers, one on each of six-point, three-point, and one- point. However, you may not enter a checker onto a point occupied by two or more opposing checkers.
Once you have entered one or more checkers, you may use subsequent rolls to move those checkers forward, to enter more checkers, or both. You may not move a checker to the second half of the board until all of your other checkers have been entered
